Your Smorgasbord

It’s too simple to believe that you can only have one emotion towards a person. Many times, others want us to put our emotions in neat, little, labeled boxes, when life is rarely that simple.

It’s completely possible to care deeply about someone and at the same time be incredibly angry with them. You can dislike someone sometimes and really like them at other times, you can be envious of someone and admire them simultaneously and you can enjoy someone’s company and also be irritated by their mannerisms.

Don’t try to organize your emotions towards people by insisting they fall into one box or another. That’s not being true to the myriad ways humans actually feel.
